I agree with you entirely Tudor, that there are other points which could be
raised about the presentation of weather information, and a lack of time is
definately one as is the over-use of cliches.

...etc

The best solution is to tune in to your local BBC station when a detailed
forecast for the following day will be given for your particular area. Radio
Northampton has such a forecast at about 5.20pm each weekday, when the Look
East (TV) presenter gives a 'personalised' forecast for the county. This is
repeated for each county (or rather each local radio station) in the area in
turn between 5 and 5.30. I'm not sure, but I expect the same thing is done
throughout the country. The weather in this country (these countries, sorry
Anne) is too damned variable to be generalised.

Then why is money spent on producing and broadcasting them? Perhaps the Radio 4
forecasts should be amongst the first of the cuts :-)
